Do I have an abnormal libido or do other transguys deal with this?

[ND86]

I'm 23. I've been on T for a few years. You would think the increase in testosterone would increase my sex drive a lot but it hasn't, really. I can get really horny for about two days and then I'm not horny at all. I could try to watch porn and it won't stimulate me. It seems like I just have to be horny before anything external can make me orgasm. When I am turned on, I definitely feel it, but like I said, it's not frequent. I'm asking this because my friend was talking about how he can get horny the second someone he is attracted to starts kissing him. I have to be horny before hand in order to keep going with it, otherwise, I just feel like I'm waiting for the other person to finish so it can be over. It's very frustrating. I don't know if it's just lack of comfort because I don't have a penis or if it's my adrenal glads or what. Do other trans guys experience this?

I'm the same way. It's so frustrating. I'm 8 months on testosterone. I used to get horny all the time and masturbate a year ago and now I never get horny. I only masturbate because I get curious because I haven't done it in a while. I could go weeks without masturbating and when I finally do it again, it's disappointing. I orgasm but it doesn't feel good and nothing can stimulate me. Not porn, stories, or my own imagination. I've never had any sexual experiences so I only masturbate. I'm afraid when the time actually does happen when I have sex that I won't be turned on and the orgasms will be disappointing. I'm going to tell my doctor about this so that she can give me something for my libido. If it's bothering you I think you should talk to your doctor and see if they can give you something for it.

I've had sexual experiences but I just don't have the sex drive to keep up with my partners. I just don't care at all. It actually makes me wonder if I'm more on an asexual spectrum than a gay/straight spectrum. I could probably have sex only once or twice a month and be happy with that. Unfortunately, it's expected much more than that in a relationship.

I'm mostly the same. I don't think I get turned on easily. Early on I had a very high sex drive and it tapered off.

Wouldn't it compare somewhat to a crazed teenager jacking off everyday and then growing up?

I think part of it def could be lack of comfort. I get horny a lot but if I start to remember that I don't have a penis and flat chest then I start getting turned off. I'm 1.5 years on T.
